I refered to this
X1 AAA-BBB

EK BKK - DXB stopover
EK DXB-MXP stopover
EK MXP-JFK

As Iam asuming your X1 doen't start @ JFK, it is now a double OJ
BBB-JFK
JFK-AAA

But if you change the return to RGN as you mentioned, it changes to a triple OJ
BBB-JFK
BKK-RGN
JFK-AAA

If you can price that on an OTA ( with 2 stopovers ) you need @ least 5 search segments
1.) AAA-BBB
2.) JFK-BKK
3.) RGN-DXB
4.) DXB-MXP
5.) MXP-JFK

I would be happy, you p.m. me this OTA, i would like to issue some similar itins ex x2.

C2-C3, one way for <300 USD. Very nice airline. Nothing too special, but good reposition if you need. Add about $150 to get to Australia.

That's something you could get regular.

Why BRU? MXP (or FCO ro VCE) is cheaper (ITA says €146.41) and one may exit in NYC or go back to Europe. A lot of free transfers within C1 possible if one knows how to play with ITA. A few months ago it was even better (stopovers permitted, since January only layovers)...

A big C3 carrier that's milked out in this topic will integrate all fuel surcharges in the basefare from 28MAR :td:
Another carrier that has been milked out even more here had a final CAT12 Q explosion in its fares from here 3 days ago :td:

Maybe don't (over)post the few gems that still exist? @:-)
Some people still want to fly these later in 2018, and it would be a pity if more would get killed in the next months!

Very wise words!!

It is a massive shame that this option is now going to be gone. :td::td::td:

A dead horse can only be flogged for so long.

Fortunately there are other types of horses and other animals, still around. Do you believe in life after death ? :)

Found it! I can't fly it but it has been a nice learning exercise.
Tip for other beginners like me: do not forget to select the appropriate sales city on ITA, it could make such a big difference.

Hence the original posters message I would think...

Discretion is key.

Anyone know dumps with Singpore? They have SFO - HAN with lots of fat that looks delicious... EoE permitted. Fare basis: NMSFNS.

Anyone had a crack at dropping YQ from Travel Service, A.S. ?

Seeing PRG-HRG for £7.90 e/w with QS YQ surcharge (YQ) £73.60

Got any clues ?
